About the Radiant Surface Units

SURFACE

COOKING

Safety Instructions

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

DRAGGING

Do not slide cookware across the control or cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass. The glass is scratch-resistant, not scratchproof.

WARNING:

units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an on, unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 65.5°C (150°F).

NOTE:

cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.

Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Selecting types of cookware. GEAppliances.ca

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Safety Instructions

Check pans for at bottoms by using a straight edge.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin-weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Glass-Ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Home Canning Tips:

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball

that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass-ceramic cooktop.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops.

Surface Cookware Tips

Not over 1 inch

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat,

but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Wok Cooking

Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

We recommend that you use only a flatbottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Use only at-bottomed woks.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a buildup of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tips over.

Using the oven.

The oven has 5 rack positiones. It also has a special low rack position (R) for extra large items,such as a large turkey.

Before you begin…

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION:

a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way ou t. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the do or when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necesary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated an the display will show your set temperature.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least

2.5 cm to 3.8 cm (1” to 11 ⁄ 2”) of air space

around it. If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

When Using the Warming Drawer

The warming drawer will keep hot, cooked foods warm. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.

Do not line the warming drawer or pan with aluminum foil. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and could damage the interior finish.

Allow approximately 25 minutes for the warming drawer to preheat.

NOTE:

NOTES:

CAUTION:

melt if in direct contact with the drawer, pan or a hot utensil. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

Touching the pad does not turn the

The warming drawer has three settings: 1, 2 and 3. These settings maintain different temperature levels in the warming drawer.

On some models, if using the oven at the same time as the warming drawer, only the oven settings will be displayed.

The warming drawer cannot be used during a self-cleaning cycle.

Do not put liquid or water in the warming drawer.

All foods placed in the warming drawer should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

Using the convection oven.

(on some models)

www.GEAppliances.ca

The convection oven fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating el ement.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions

In a convection oven, a fan

circulates hot air over, under and

around the food. This circulating

hot air is evenly distributed

throughout the oven cavity. As a

result, foods are evenly cooked and

browned - often in less time than

with regular heat.

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and t radit io nal b ake an d ro ast , h ere are s om e general guidelines.

Convection Bake

Ideal foor evenly browned baked foods cooked

on multiple racks.

Good for large quantities of baked foods. Good results with cookies, biscuits, brownies,

cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food

cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Preheating is not necessarywith foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Adapting Recipes…

Youcanuseyourfavoriterecipes in the convection oven.

Convection Roast

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating element. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenlyover and around t he food. M eat an d p ou ltr y are b ro wn ed on all si des as if they were cooked o n a rotisserie. The heated air seals in juices quicklyfor amoist and tender product while,atthesametime,creatingarich golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use abroiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. Thepan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Care and Cleaning

Use pan size recommended.

Some package instructions for frozen casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that arerecommended for use in regular ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 205°C (400°F) can also be used, when oven is below 205°C (400°F).

and Plastic

Metaland Glass

Any type of cookwarewill work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastestand are recommended for convection baking.

Darkened on matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

When baking cookies, you will get the best resultsif you use a cookie sheet instead of a panwith low sides.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use apanwith low sides.Hot air cannot circulatewell around food in apanwith high sides.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking (on precise air convection models)

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-rack baking.

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, another rack in the fourth (D) position and the third rack in the sixth (F) position.

For two-rack baking, place one rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the other rack in the fifth (E) rack position.

1-Rack Convection Baking

When convection baking with only 1 rack, place the food so that it is centered with oven convection fan.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly

when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Safety Instructions

Oven Interior (non-self-clean models)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven―top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door―will stay newlooking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,

tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight.

The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor―it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Cleaning the Oven Door

To clean the inside of the door:

Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.

The area outside the gasket and the door liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

To clean the outside of the door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

If any stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on radiant models)

Safety Instructions

GEAppliances.ca

Be sure all surface units are turned o before raising the cooktop.

Surface unit

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

Lift-Up Cooktop (on coil models)

Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.

The surface units do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.

Surface Units (on coil models)

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in place.

NOTE: Do not lift the cooktop on radiant top models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.

Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning

Receptacle

Drip pan

Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute. The coils will burn off any soil.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 1". If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

Drip Pans (on coil models)

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.

To replace a surface unit:

Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop. Make sure the opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.

Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Do not immerse the surface units in liquids of any kind.

Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair the plug-in receptacle.

Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

Troubleshooting Tips

Consumer Support

Place them in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup ammonia and let soak several hours or overnight. Wash, rinse well and dry.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

NOTE: Do not clean the drip pans in a self-cleaning oven.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Oven Vent (on coil models)

On glass cooktop models, the oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop.

On coil cooktop models, the oven is vented through an opening under the right rear surface unit.

Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material.

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and the sides of the door trim.

To clean the painted surfaces, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for these surfaces. Use a clean, hot, damp cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

Stainless Steel Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use a steel wool pad; it will scratch the surface.

To clean the stainless steel surface, use warm sudsy water or a stainless steel cleaner or polish. Always wipe the surface in the direction of the grain. Follow the cleaner instructions for cleaning the stainless steel surface.

Do not use steel-wood pads, commercial oven cleaners, cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners. They will damage the surface.

Troubleshooting Tips

Glass Window (on some models)

To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

BOWL AND COIL ASSEMBLY (on coil models)

In order to do a right assembly of the bowl and the coil into the cook top you need to insert both components together as shown in the picture.

Avoid inserting components sparely, this will cause wrong assemble issues.

Attention (on coil models)

When using the oven is normal to have an increase of temperature on the cooktop surface, based on the fact that the release of heat from the oven is placed on the back right burner/coil of the range.

This warranty is extended to the original purchaser and any succeeding owner for products purchased in Canada for home use within Canada. In-home warranty service will be provided in areas where it is available and deemed reasonable by Mabe to provide.

Some provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from province to province. To know what your legal rights are in your province, consult your local or provincial consumer affairs office.
